Find Edgar's Artist On September 10th of 2016, a group of buddies were gifted a legend. This painting, who we now call Edgar, has brought so much joy into our lives.

Since the day we were blessed with his presence, we have taken him on many adventures; from visiting downtown Ottawa, to helping form a boyband, and moving into two new homes – we feel grateful to have been able to add to his history. However, now we are interested in uncovering more about his mysterious past. Shortly after having him, we realized that there is no signature on the canvas, and we h

ave very little information about where he comes from. We have made up various theories about his origins… but we feel it is time to find the creative genius who graciously brought this gem into our lives! We would really like to find the artist, and hopefully let them know how much this painting means to us. WHAT WE KNOW: The only information we have is that it was picked up from a yardsale in Old Ottawa South. Previous to that, Edgar was bought at another yard sale.

Is this… a mini-me, I see? 🧐

How peculiar...
“the word on the street is”
that mini stickers of ME are being placed across a few cities?

Perhaps I will start sharing some speculations of my creation story... beginning with theory one:

An elderly man who dreamt of becoming an artist his whole life... a man that never got the chance to fulfill his aspirations due to the pressures from his family to become a cobbler like his father, and his grandfather - finally built the courage to sit down during his free time to paint after 55 years of being told it was not his destiny - “Not what the Lord had in store for him”.

Staring into a canvas... previously used but never completed... he began painting. Drawing inspiration from his favourite poet, he created me. Lonely old me. No one to look lovingly into another’s eyes... no sense of place with a background... simply a (dashing) man in a oval picture frame on a black void of a wall.

After the elderly man sat back and took in (the sheer glory of) what he just created, he remembered why he thought he was destined to be a cobbler. With no practice, zero confidence, and the lack of support of his family over the years, he could not recognize (the utter perfection and) unique beauty of his hard work.

Holding onto some emotions of me being the first piece he had created since he was a young teenager, he left me in the attic of his heritage home where I sat for another 7 years before his passing.

From there, I was sold at a yard sale... to which I found a home in a unfinished basement storage space for 24 years before finding my current home.

My warped frame and cracked paint are due to being thrown around like a worthless polishing rag.

Angry reacts or don’t react at all.

Well, it is officially November... you know what that means... seasonal depression is on it's way and I still have not found my artist. Looks like it will be another cold winter.

I have recently heard my smöl bröther, mini Edgar, has decided to stay in Australia as an illegal immigrant upon his planned departure this past month. We will no longer have contact with him. We can only hope one day he will come around and we will be updated on his whereabouts in the down under. Let us wish him well, and wish that he finds the peace that I have yet to find within myself as a disregarded work of art, at creation.
Here is to mini Edgar, and his new life in the land of exotic animals and poisonous creatures.

Update: for those who have been worried or thinking of me (as you should be)... after a brief hiatus from social media, I am pleased to announce that we have.... still not found my artist. Maybe my goal in life is not to find my creator, but to find... myself.

Mini me has found a home across the globe and I still can’t find my artist, who very well could be in this darned city. ...
